Directions for Sweet and Sour Stuffed Peppers Vegetarian:

Begin cooking rice in a separate pot with spices. In a wok, or other deep fryer, add a generous coating of olive oil. Render the cole slaw, yellow squash, red onion, celery, peaches, garlic, lemon and orange juices for about 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, cut the tops off and clean out the seeds in six to seven medium-large sized peppers. In a small mixing bowl, beat two extra large eggs and set aside. When the rice is fully cooked, remove it from the heat and place it in a pyrex bowl to cool (about 10 minutes).

Then remove the rendered vegetables from the heat source. Slowly add the eggs to the cooled but still warm rice. If you add it too fast you may ‘scramble’ your eggs. Then add the vegetable mix. Stir together. With an ice cream scooper, fill the raw peppers to the brim, or heaping if you’d like. Place peppers upright in a dutch oven pot.

Mix the sweet and sour sauce ingredients and pour it over the peppers. Bring to a boil and reduce heat (making sure to keep the peppers on a soft boil) for 30-45 minutes, or until the peppers are tender. With a ladle, spoon the sauce over the stuffed peppers vegetarian style prior to serving.
